Fascinating to see an almost identical rerun of the collapse of the Roman empire. So much for progress, advanced civilization etc.! More like back to the dark ages. It is embarrassing to say the least.
So the guy who actually incited a real, violent mob to prevent the lawful transition of power (and then pardon said real, convicted felons) now gets to arrest people for PRE-CRIMES?

And from the link that Caitlin provided:
According to David Ellison, the Chairman and CEO of Paramount — a company that recently came out against an Israeli film boycott, arguing that it “does not promote peace” — the show “highlights Paramount’s continued commitment to storytelling through artistic excellence and accuracy. This critical series cinematically captures the horrific terrorism that stunned the world on October 7 with harrowing precision and inspires with these true-life stories of heroism and heartbreak.”
With Zionists in charge, genocide never looked so good.
Much like digital ID, zero ordinary people asked for Bitcoin or any other crypto. Caitlin, have you ever considered that Bitcoin and the rest of crypto is deceptively being used by oligarchs and technocrats to digitally enslave and control the general population? I ask this because to this very day, you still post on each and every Substack post of yours, your Bitcoin address. Are you concerned that this is exactly what the oligarchs and technocrats, who happen to embrace Zionist ideologies, want all of us to be doing? To go fully digital with currency…that is slavery, tyranny, no different than what’s being pushed with digital ID. Feel free to PM me if you have any questions.
"The more control they have over us, the easier it will be to keep us propagandized and consenting to the status quo, and the harder it will be for us to rise up against them when it’s time to remove them from power."
That's why I'll never consent to a digital ID or a "chip" or anything that gives my rights of freedom of speech and freedom of movement away. We all need to be ready to fight for our rights. What's happening in Gaza will happen to us if we don't.
One day people will look back at this age of unrestricted wealth accumulation in the same way that we now look upon the Pharaohs or the Cesars. It will seem incredible that these people were allowed to dominate society.
But how will they reconcile the vulgar products of Bezos, or Gates, or Ellison against the Pantheon, the Colloseum, or the Pyramids? I wonder, am I being romantic?

CJ>>"The president’s memorandum states that such groups can be identified by “anti-Americanism, anti-capitalism, and anti-Christianity; support for the overthrow of the United States Government; extremism on migration, race, and gender; and hostility towards those who hold traditional American views on family, religion, and morality.”"
Question: So are Jews that are pro-Judaism considered to be anti-Christianity, and hence subject to this 'memorandom'?
Also, how is this different from what Hitler (and the Nazis) did in Germany? (i.e. attack the Jews, Socialists, disabled, Communists, LGBT, Roma, other ethnic minorities)? Seems like Führer Trump is behaving similarly to how Führer Hitler did. This is how fascism progresses. Hasen't the world already seen what this leads to?
Millions of people have no clue about what caused the 2008 financial crisis. Some may believe that Obama/Biden saved the day by bailing out Wall Street with a gift of 3/4 of a Trillion dollars. As Professor Yanis Varoufakis has explained, the Wall Street bailout and related “quantitative easements” amounted to at least $9-Trillion, and possibly $11-Trillion, that provided little or no relief to the poor and working classes.
It’s also true that millions of low-income people are distracted by the stress of working long hours in low-paid jobs with no job security and limited, if any, healthcare and childcare. In the allegedly wealthiest country on earth, why is professional childcare even necessary? Why is it necessary for working class families to have at least two income earners while the elites are paid the median income during the first week or two of each year?
Yes, I agree with you. So, what is to be done ??? Do you see a realistic way out of this? Can this train wreck of world events be stopped or derailed? (I ask this realistically, and not in a wishy-washy dreamy state of false hope, etc.)
We must call upon the armed forces to uphold their oath to defend the Constitution and the people of the USA. We must also call upon the people of the USA to exercise their rights that are expressed in the Bill of Rights.
People have a natural right to self-defense but also have a moral obligation to defend others who cannot defend themselves. A question to ask people is, “Are you prepared and willing to kill someone who is prepared and willing to kill you, first?” Most law enforcement and National Guard personnel assume that the answer to that question is, “No”.
The “good Christian” response to violence is to “turn the other cheek” and be prepared to be nailed to a cross or similar fate.
"Donald Trump, willing to do anything for money and praise perfumed himself for the Israelis as they fucked him in psychopathic rape fashion. The amount of lies he told will never be fully counted – those who sought to count gave up under the onslaught of thousands of lies. The fear of Trump is not his legislative agenda, but the fact that he is a lover of fascism, and under such an idiot the US may see its last vestiges of democracy destroyed." (2022)
Congress has the legal authority to remove him from office, but has been unwilling to do so. The armed forces have the means to remove him as an enemy of the state, but have not made any obvious moves to do so.
However, he still has the support of several million MAGAts who outnumber the total population of Congress, the armed forces and all law enforcement personnel. Many of the MAGAts are armed and possibly dangerous.
So, it comes down to the question of “What are the non-MAGAts prepared and willing to do?” Negotiations are futile. The courts are feckless. The POTUS is the chief law enforcement officer, and is making himself the chief legislator by decree.
>>"Congress has the legal authority to remove him from office"
CK, I don't think you are getting the zeitgeist of the moment. We are WAY BEYOND legal manuevers in America (though hopefuls, optimists, dreamers, and others might disagree).
We are in UNCHARTERED TERRITORY in the U.S. of A. Until you (and others) get that, you will be unable to grapple with the reality of circumstances (and what is to follow) and the magnitude and precarity of what's happening right now!
Military is already on the streets. ICE has been kidnapping people off the streets. Where/when else in history have we seen this before?
This REALITY should scare EVERYONE deep down into their bones!
There are existing laws against violence, but an accusation of "fomenting political violence" is subjective, vague, and largely, a matter of opinion: such laws can lead to the most serious types of injustice, even fascism. It makes all forms of protest suspect, by its very nature.
Ironically Trump replaced Genocide Joe's portrait with a picture of an autopen. As if the stack of papers and rubber stamped signatures on Don's own desk aren't the exact equivalent but signed by a rubber stamper with about 14 more brain cells left.
I almost wish Trump defenders would actually show up here to defend him, but the fact is that they know they'd be destroyed in seconds by informed, caring human beings who -while labeled "Democrats" by the nutcase Zionist Rethugs - actually have some degree of humanity left within themselves to exercise a modicum of consistency.
And to anyone who read the above as a defense of US corporate Democrats or their corporate owned party - You're a fucking moron.
The hierarchical structure of the human system—a sort of pyramid made up of multiple dyadic (dual-valued) levels (steps) in which those at one level represent themselves to those at higher levels while representing the entire system to those at lower levels—allows those at the top to dominate the entire system. Until this structure changes, human behavior and relationships will not.
Ehhhh, I think that memorandum was just a play to ratchet up more division and cement the image as a totalitarian. He has to go waaaaay over the top as the baddie so the democrats can come in and restore norms and be the good guy, thereby drawing a ‘clear distinction’ between the parties. Which also fits in with the ‘compatible left’ in terms of DEI. It’s all theatre. Interesting that he went with a memorandum on this one and not an EO…
Fascinating to see an almost identical rerun of the collapse of the Roman empire. So much for progress, advanced civilization etc.! More like back to the dark ages. It is embarrassing to say the least.
Yeah, except now we have the ability to destroy the whole world in at least two different ways. Now that's what I call progress!
So the guy who actually incited a real, violent mob to prevent the lawful transition of power (and then pardon said real, convicted felons) now gets to arrest people for PRE-CRIMES?

So many parallels between the movie's 'Matrix' and the physical world's establishment. Both cosisting of fantastical lies.

Many fools hope that today’s situation is different. They are dumbfounded and/or ignorant.
The incremental progression to totalitarianism is accelerating, becoming more difficult to stop on a daily basis.
Ah, the usual 'this time is different' thinking. Didn't we already see that with the 2008 global financial crisis?
People never seem to learn, and they have short memories (and are extremely distracted).

You seem to be more of an optimist than I am...I don't seem to have the same level of faith in people (and humanity) as you seem to.

Trump is merely a stooge of wealthy cowardly sponsors who control most of the material and financial wealth of the USA — at least on paper.
I would say he is MUCH MORE than just 'a stooge'. People like Biden, Harris, Bush, Clinton, Obama would more likely be 'merely a stooge'.
Trump is something different from the others before him. What will it take for people to WAKE UP and finally perceive reality?
I’m trying to be polite, generous and forgiving.
Deranged psychopathic stooge, useful to his billionaire and corporate sponsors may be an appropriate description, too.
Nah, Trump is a different animal/creature on another level, similar to so many strongmen in history (eg. Mussolini, Franco, Hitler, Berlusconi, etc.)
I don't see any need to be 'polite' when it comes to EVIL such as Trump (and Netanyahu).
Congress has the legal authority to remove him from office, but has been unwilling to do so. The armed forces have the means to remove him as an enemy of the state, but have not made any obvious moves to do so.
However, he still has the support of several million MAGAts who outnumber the total population of Congress, the armed forces and all law enforcement personnel. Many of the MAGAts are armed and possibly dangerous.
So, it comes down to the question of “What are the non-MAGAts prepared and willing to do?” Negotiations are futile. The courts are feckless. The POTUS is the chief law enforcement officer, and is making himself the chief legislator by decree.
“The people” must decide upon how to proceed.

Still better then the previous stooge
Let's stop letting the baddies control everything -- a great idea! And stop believing all their crazy stories while we're at it.
